The ground station had a problem making it to the ISS. The ISS called the ground multiple times. The astronaut could barely hear them. He said he was catching a few words and their signal was weak. By the time everything was ok, they had 2 minutes for the contact. From my location, the astronaut only had time to answer 3 questions.

I recorded the pass. The ISS was very strong.

Thanks Dave,

Well, so noise or antenna didn't let me hear it, bad luck. Anyway, is good to know it was successful.

73,
